Cloudant Search feature in CouchDB Local server

I have a search index like so in Cloudant:

"indexes": {
    "search-cloud": {
      "analyzer": "standard",
      "index": "function(doc) { index(\"keyword\", doc.name); }"
    }
}

The function is a bit more intense but that is the set up.

It appears its using this? org.apache.lucene.queryparser.classic

Right now I have a local Fauxton CouchDB 1.6.1 database that I'm staging the data on but it appears that the search isn't implemented on it.

Is there a way to install this so I can make the following call to the database and get info back?

http://localhost/{DB}/_design/filters/_search/search-cloud?q={SEARCH_QUERY}
Solution

  • The search stack behind IBM Cloudant is powered by Apache Lucene and was open sourced awhile back. I think this article on enabling full text search in Apache CouchDB is what you're looking for.
